    Hi!

    Sorry for my english, try to explaine my timid question...

    Is it possible to combined SCN5 with DC motors, if I would use 6 axis (2 SCN5 and 4 DC's)?
    Is the Simtool able to controll them without any problem? does not couse any problem, if I set SCN5 in 1st and 2nd interface, and use DC'S set in other 4 interface.

    Because, I really don't like mix forces in one axis. I know, it is possible and I can tune very vell, but anyway, not the best way to feel real. I think, the best solution could be that keep pure sway and surge forces for actuators (as driver's shoulders moving), and give the others (pitch, roll, heave, yaw - as car chassis moves us) to DCs to feedback them via a separate platform under seat. Each axis would has pure force data and does not overwrites each other at all. We can use full, and pure forces separately.

    Is it a good idea, or just wasting my time?
    Ok, 4 plus motors are more money, but I'm courius about Idea and feelings.
    Is it stupid Idea? Am I wrong?
